So the NBA is really expecting the east coast to stay up for a 10:30PM start time on a Tuesday?

Most NY rangers games start at 7pm

They sell out just like the Knicks do

People will show up to games at any time in these cities that have legit fans ..they could have it at 2am and the arena will be filled

It’s all done for the tv viewing audience
True but I've been to games with my job, you'll see people walk in halfway through the 1st period

As games go to streaming with the ability to watch these games wherever you want, it’s gonna be harder to justify these super late games. People on the west coast don’t have to be in their living room with their remote control in their hands when the game starts

If at all possible, they are not starting games in MSG at 7pm. Thats still too early for people to get to the games in NYC, due to traffic in Manhattan. This is why Knicks and Nets games are 7:30 during the regular season. People trying to get home from work, and then trains out to MSG are a bytch in lower Manhattan.

I concur that 8pm is late start, but anything before 7:30pm in Manhattan is a no go on a weekday.

The Rangers, Mets, and Yankees start before 7:30. The Knicks fans can make it, especially the ones with playoff tickets.

I saw the start time of the nuggets wolves game tonight and immediately said "nope, won't be watching past the 1st quarter tonight".

It sucks.
